Chapter 482: Picking a Script
Therefore, the producer sincerely expressed his gratitude to Leila in an interview, and lost no time in praising his movie, saying that his film is also a work of heart, and it is guaranteed that the audience will have a pleasant viewing experience after watching it, without having to look at the watch all the time.
In the end, they didn't forget to borrow Lyla's words and stepped on the rival's "Pearl Harbor" again.
One can imagine how angry the producers of "Pearl Harbor" were when they saw these words, and even Faisal, who has always been moody, dropped a wine glass. If before it was just Fai who saw Leila as an enemy, now he has officially blacklisted her.
His pride will never allow such a thing as a movie fiasco to happen to him, the script is what he agreed, and the director and actor were also invited by him with a nod, but now it is such a fiasco, which has never appeared in his smooth life, how can he accept it?
It's a pity that no matter how much you can't accept the facts, it has become a fact, and "Pearl Harbor", which had fallen more seriously at the box office, fell even more after the show came out.
What angered Faisal the most was that "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Fast and Furious" were all on the rise. Originally, the former had been released for three weeks, and it was inevitable that there would be a big drop. Who would have thought that Leila would be caught "occasionally" in a street interview, and at this time, it would be incredible to increase the box office a little.
"Fast and Furious" was even happier, and the box office directly surpassed the big productions that cost five or six times more than themselves, making the media exclaim "The dark horse has appeared!"
Who would have imagined that just a "random interview" from Leila would have such incredible chemistry at the box office this week. Whether it's a pirate who is still in the aftermath or a new dark horse, the gorgeous box office battle makes the viewers who pay attention to the box office of the summer movie addicted, and it feels as exciting as the real war.
Later, some people analyzed this incident and believed that the box office shock was due to the "coincidence" of Leila and Roy being interviewed on the street. Since it is a coincidence, it means that it is difficult to replicate, and other movies that want to play such a trick according to the script may only be recognized and ridiculed by the audience. And not everyone can cause such a big attention and impact, just find two ordinary celebrities and it is estimated that they can't even make a splash.
However, only Louise knows that the so-called coincidence is not a coincidence at all, but just a game made up by her unfathomable little boss with "two movie tickets".
No matter how lively it was outside, Leila was no longer interested in paying attention to it, and now she was thinking about a few scripts on her desk. These are all scripts that other companies handed over to her as the director after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" caused a splash.
In fact, I received many times more than that, and after being screened by Louise, there were still a few left in front of me. She knows that she is not averse to making films for other companies, and generally speaking, directors rarely use their own money to make films. Usually they will pull investment everywhere and put the risk in the hands of others.
Layla's record of never missing a beat in this industry can be said to be quite a magical thing, you must know that even the great director Spielberg has made a movie like "Dream Giant" that was sprayed as Waterloo.
"I've read these scripts, and I feel pretty good, so if you don't have a plan for the next shoot, you can try to pick them up. Louise felt a thrill every time she saw her increasing investment costs. Think about it, from 100,000 US dollars at the beginning to more than 100 million now, in just a few years, the cost of her film has increased so many times. If she could, she still felt it would be better to pass on the risk to another company.
Leila looked at the row of scripts spread out in front of her, her eyes a little calm. Being able to be left in front of her is naturally a good movie script. Among them, the second part of the Man in Black and the third part of the Terminator are impressively listed.
To say that she was quite interested in both films, but the second script of the Man in Black was so bad that the third part was re-produced after a gap of more than ten years. She likes the characters in it and the setting here, but she is not sensitive to this script.
As for the Terminator, it is not known whether Schwarhigg created the Terminator or the Terminator created Schwarzenegger. The Terminator series created by James Cameron is very great, especially the second installment, which can even be called a classic forever.
In her memory, the third part received a good box office, with more than 200 million box office worldwide. It may not look like it in front of her, but it can be regarded as a film with relatively high returns.
But she really has no interest in making a sequel, the people in front of her shoot well and portray the characters well, which will cause no matter how well she shoots, it will make people feel worse than before. If the front shot was bad, she shot it well...... Well, if the previous shooting was poor, no one would want to make a sequel, let alone find her to be the director.
In addition to these two books, there is also a script that surprises her next to it - "Chicago".
It's a musical revue!
That's right, it's a song and dance film!
Leila didn't expect Disney to put the script of a musical and dance film in front of her.
Seeing this script, even she couldn't help but laugh. She made the scariest witches, the sexiest pirates, the coolest female killers, and now some people think she can make a Broadway musical of the same name!
Louise was a little embarrassed when she saw that she didn't speak, but kept staring at the one placed in the most remote position with a strange face.
When she first received the script, her expression was probably even more strange than she had shown, but who said that it was a script handed over by a friend of hers, not to persuade Laila to be next, but to give her a choice. That's why she put the script on Lyla's desk.
It's just that she still doesn't know if she made a wrong decision. She wasn't sure if taking such a wrong script in front of her would make the little boss question her vision for choosing the script.
"Ahem. She coughed lightly: "The script of that revue is still more interesting, it's about ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Leila spoke, "I know. It tells the story of two cases that happened in Chicago and were hyped up by a lawyer named Billy. ”
Louise was stunned for a moment: "Have you seen it before?"
Leila nodded noncommittally, "I've seen it." "It's just in a past life.
The reason why she will watch this song and dance film is because it won several Oscars at the Oscars, including Best Supporting Actress and Best Picture.
